  • DPReview 8.9/10
    Good for: photographers who photograph anything from landscapes to sports and want the best possible image quality in a DSLR.
    Not so good for: those shooting incredibly fast action that requires higher burst speeds and those who require a more refined video feature set.
  • Imaging Resource 10/10
    With excellent build quality, comfortable ergonomics, fantastic image quality and great performance, the Nikon D850 is an all-around amazing package. Unsurprisingly, the D850 earned not only our pick for Best Professional DSLR of 2017, but it also got our top pick for 2017's Best Overall Camera of the Year.

    La versatilità è il suo vero punto di forza. Grazie al nuovo sensore ad altissima risoluzione, la D850 si presta efficacemente alla fotografia paesaggistica, pubblicitaria, di matrimoni, moda e macro. Il potentissimo autofocus e la velocità di scatto di 7 fps la rendono idonea anche ad un utilizzo sportivo. I videomaker possono filmare a pieno formato in 4K con caratteristiche molto soddisfacenti.
